It is the responsibility of the visiting student to read the Exam visit instructions of the host university before booking an Exam visit. The instructions include, among other things, information on the opening hours of the Exam visit rooms, how to find the room, and what software is available on the host university’s Exam workstations. These factors determine if it is possible to take your exam as an Exam visit in another university. In addition, you as a student must comply to the rules and instructions given by the host university for the use of their EXAM facilities and monitoring procedures.
You can check the universities offering Exam visits on the national EXAM website. You will find there a list of the universities providing the EXAM visit service, and also direct links to the Exam visit guidelines of these institutions. Each of these institutions have at least one Exam visit computer in their Exam spaces. Please note that at the most popular universities the booking calendars may get congested from time to time. In case you can’t find a suitable, free Exam visit timeslot, you should book your Exam time in another Exam visit institution – or in the Exam space of your own university! Accessible or specially-equipped Exam facilities are not available to Exam visitors.
